In this video, I give an in-depth tutorial on how to replace the exterior shells on your Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. I also attempt to replace the joysticks with a third party option. That didn't go well, but at least if you find a good brand of joystick, you will know how to replace it.

Video is for educational purposes only.
